This training manual is for people working on emergency response and disaster risk management; it
aims to provide an overview of the major land issues that may arise following a natural disaster that
require consideration and inclusion in the decision-making processes associated with response,
recovery and rehabilitation. These issues also should be considered for inclusion in follow-on
reconstruction and development projects to improve tenure security for the more vulnerable as part of a
disaster mitigation process.
This manual is also intended for people who work in the land sector, to provide information on the
challenges that may be faced in the context of emergency response and recovery from disasters. The
information contained in the modules provides a background for the rationale and processes of disaster
risk management (DRM).
